(A) Comparison between observed (black dots) and simulated (gray dots) coseismic vertical displacements along the coast associated with the Maule earthquake. The numbers near the dots indicate the locations of measurement points shown in Fig. 4. (B) Cross section for observed data and simulations in Fig. 5(A) as a function of their distance from the trench. Red circles and blue squares depict simulation points north and south of the epicenter respectively. Open circles and squares depict observed data north and south of the epicenter respectively. The data are plotted with error bars (FarĆ­as et al., 2010). Cross sections of average vertical displacement for the entire fault (dotted line), the southern asperity (solid line), and the northern asperity (dashed line) are shown (see Fig. 4 for the locations of the cross sections).
